Mercor
About
Mercor is an AI-powered hiring platform founded in 2023 that streamlines the recruitment process for both employers and job seekers by automating resume screening, candidate matching, and interviews. The platform uses artificial intelligence to evaluate applicants’ skills through a quick 20-minute AI interview, then matches them with relevant roles at top companies, including leading AI labs like OpenAI. Mercor’s approach enables companies to browse, select, and hire candidates—often on the same day—while offering global payroll compliance and seamless onboarding. The company has rapidly grown, raising $100 million at a $2 billion valuation, and claims to have created thousands of jobs while achieving profitability and a $75 million annual revenue run rate. While Mercor touts its ability to remove bias and increase efficiency in hiring, some online discussions have raised concerns about the transparency of its AI interview process and the use of candidate data to train its systems.
